Please no AI-generated text! Youth Around the World. For the final assignment, you will select a nation other than the U.S. and prepare an informational presentation profiling the legal, institutional, and social context of youth for that nation.
The Final assignment must be submitted by the listed due date. Presentation and Citation Although you will not be presenting your project live, your project should be completed in the format for a presentation and must contain the use of visual aids using PowerPoint (or another program, with advance approval). Your presentation must be based on information from multiple sources, clearly cited in your presentation. Plan as if it were to be about a 10-12 minute presentation (so 8-15 slides, depending on how you carve up the information). Use abbreviated citations throughout (similar to in-text citation for a paper) and include a complete list at the end. Be careful not to plagiarize — doing so will result in your failing the course, as per the syllabus. This includes providing a citation for all information and making sure to use your own words. In the rare case where you decide a quote is important to include, make sure to use quote marks, even if it is just a phrase, along with the citation.
Content of Profile You are required to provide a current population pyramid (or equivalent information) in order to place youth within an age distribution context for your nation. Beyond that, you have some flexibility to select which features best characterize youth in your nation. Here are some possibilities to get you started: factors that shape the age structure (e.g., fertility rates, mortality rates, life expectancy, immigration). age(s) of majority (e.g., mandatory schooling, contracts, voting, military service, driving, drinking, etc.)
institutional features shaping youth (e.g., organization and financial model of secondary or tertiary education; structure of families and living arrangements for youth; employment policies) age and the way of life in the society (e.g. are their notable political issues that engage youth or are there age-related political issues?
What are the most typical ages of leaving school, entering work, marrying, having a first child, or moving out of the parental home?)
aspects of youth culture (e.g., notable ways of spending time, leisure, consumption, dress, music, etc.) Lorena O’English from the libraries has put together a useful guide to information available for this assignment.
